Afghanistan receives over 8,000 foreign tourists in two years
More than 8,000 foreign tourists visited Afghanistan over the past two years, local media TOLOnews reported Saturday, citing a government official.
The Afghan government on Saturday urged protesters to abstain from any gatherings or demonstrations due to security threats.
According to a statement released by the Kabul Garrison General Command, there were intelligence reports about possible suicide attacks by anti-government elements.
On Friday, following a deadly attack in a diplomatic area in Kabul which killed nearly 100 people and injured over 400 others, thousands of Afghans staged a protest at the site of the incident and asked the government leaders to resign.
